Puerto Madryn is on the coast of the most desolate part of Argentina's
Patagonia. Settlers had a very rugged time settling the area and a
drive down the coast drives that point home -- see the landscape where
the Guanacos hang out (below). The day's activities included a
very well developed paleontology museum... a leisurely (and tepid) float
down a little river... and a visit to a farmer who collects rocks as a
hobby. It was not one of the best days (by a long shot) but it did
have its moments. And we selected the highlights for a quick tour.
